If you are working with text a monitor with high pixel density is important. 4K 27” is good for Windows, 5K 27” is great for Macs. I think companies should provide a monitor of this calibre and a laptop powerful enough to easily drive them to technical workers. I would spend my own money on the hardware if I could use it for work. It’s like if a company said they will give you a $5000 pay raise, but you have to use a 2006 flip phone from now on. I think a lot of people would refuse the raise.
Yeah, without debating the price, in itself, the now-discontinued ProDisplay XDR, I love, at 6K 32", though only 60Hz. Ironically, I ended up with this display because Apple messed with DSC to make it work, and crippled my Asus 27" 4K HDR 144Hz screens.
I thought after years of dual displays I'd be (and I am) happy with a single display again, but when this thing goes, it is probably hard to pass up dual 27" 5K 120Hz displays...
I'm seriously considering just ordering two of these and taking them into the office. My only fear is that someone else will feel slighted thinking I got special monitors, even though I bought them myself.

And 6K 31.5" is good for Linus / Linux [1] :-) More specifically the ASUS ProArt PA32QCV [2].
